Collected mine yesteray from Compass, I cannot fault Compass at all, they told me I had been updateded the night prior to collection, only a 150 mile trip southwest, however no ping bongs or lights, yes I did stop during the trip.

Due to my table not arriving, they swapped out an emplyers own, huge thanks to Compass

Is the precaution during the starting process still necessary?

I always wait for lights to clear, but was not informed of any particular precautions

Yes, Compass Automotive.
My Grenadier came from Carlisle (pre owned, due to Ineos Customer Support cancelling my order, after signing contract; but that’s another story in itself!!). I registered my truck there as they were initially supposed to be my supplier.
Good bunch, from what I can tell.

Edit: I rang them to book my Grenadier in for its update. Initially I was offered this coming Monday, but that was overruled due to other Grenadier owners, who had their vehicles supplied by Compass, taking priority slots; fully understandable.
My Grenadier doesn’t seem to have any faults, apart from very rarely flashing the odd “power steering error” or “neutral selected error”.
When turning the ignition on, I allow all the warning lights to go out before starting the engine (something most motorcycle manuals recommend prior to start up).

Thanks for the info. Mine was supplied by Compass which I chose due to their agricultural experience. They have to wait for parts such as both front door seals, the safari roof fix so whilst i was one of the earliest (5th i think) so the software is secondary.
I have very few bings and bongs now at 2300 miles. I always wait on start as you describe.

The software update was done today to my Gren, besides other known issues and the replacement of the nuts from the stabilizer rods which was new to me.
Well, the software update was not good. It killed the car and Ineos technicians are working on it now

 

[joejet]

And this is why I'm waiting!!

I’ve just asked the guys at Ineos Cape Town if I can get the update and they said they won’t do customer cars until they’ve tested on demo stock first. I’ll hold off I think until they are sure all is OK , don’t want to ruin the expedition

My dealer also told me that he does not fit customer vehicles with the new software without trying it on his own vehicles. Very good procedure!

Agree that this is right. However, I do not understand why this should brick any car if it went through proper testing. Ineos should not have a too complex configuration landscape.

Ineos should have 3rd partied the electronics

The electronics is 3rd Party mostly - Neusoft.
However other cars were successfully updated w/o problems already and issues were eliminated.
What happened to @WPP may have other reason - e.g. certain procedures during update process not obeyed.
I know this from other processes - do not interrupt during update process etc.. so we know it went wrong but how it got to that we don't.
In my opinion on WPP's Grenadier is some other topic the issue.

How many forums users had electrical gremlins, and since patch now have zero? I was trying to guage this but hard to find definitive posts of Pre vs Post patch owners. It looks like newer deliveries that are patched seem to have many of the noisy beeps and bongs removed and that is a good sign. Dealer in QLD should have this ready to go next week and that will work out for the OCT deliveries in QLD!

The updated s/w, which is in several parts, probably contains compressed ("zip-type") files. Possibly, in the process of cloning for distribution, critical files have become corrupted....
My "understanding" is that the headunit update which is separate and via a memory stick, is OK. It's the s/w loaded from a specialised laptop which has caused the issues ....and that has to interact with the headunit....
The Australian roll out has been halted until a new suite of uncorrupted files can be supplied...

hmmmmm, you should have whispered that so Tazzie didn’t read it.

Well when I rang my agent this afternoon he said the software update had been done.
I'm just waiting on a clip , for something or other.
The car needs a clip around the ears.

really - and he can't post the clip to you for you to attach in a few days/week - strange but you are very close now

The clip has to come from mainland Australia...

the north island

Someone will point out that technically it's not an island. Whilst Greenland is an island but not a continent.

It's all a load of Incontinentia Buttocks if you ask me.
